Welcome to the Test Drive! In this post, you'll be able to interact with others to get a feeling for your character. All threads below will be considered non-canon unless otherwise stated. Multiple different scenarios are available, you are welcome to post multiple comments with different scenarios each or post one single comment containing different scenarios.
i n s t r u c t i o n s • Post with your character (note character name in the subject). • Other people reply to you by picking a number from the scenarios in the subject line. • Have fun!
o p t i o n s 01 • AWAKENING. Your character has just woken up, or turned a corner, or blinked and now their animal companion has joined them. How do they react? What were they doing beforehand? How are they going to handle the news that they're a knight now? For this thread, you'll be threading with your animal companion. (You must provide the thread-start for this option)
02 • ON THE PLANE. You were promised a seat on a plane out to the island but it looks like you and another Knight (or the Princess) were double-booked! Chat it up with your fellow fighter, commentary from your animal companions is optional.
03 • THE ISLAND. You've just landed and you're somewhere on the island. One of your fellow companions is nearby and they sure do look like they've just landed with all their luggage still in tow. Or they're already wearing an Island tourism shirt. Or who even knows, but you're both here!
04 • COFFEE SHOP. All you wanted was a Latte, or a Frappuccino, to consider why you're here on the island and what you were going to do until the first monster showed up... Instead the barista called for "Drink for the Knight" or "Drink for the Princess" oh shit, but this isn't your drink! Or maybe it is your drink but someone else is there! Why would two knights have gone for coffee at the same time? Or did you get confused for or with the Princess? Come on, man, there are only so many unicorn frappes in the world.
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort. Go for a walk, go outside, looks like you're not alone in your discomfort. New island housing is wild!
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. First night on the island is rough. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • BEACH EPISODE. You're on an island!! There's beaches everywhere, there are pools on every street. Endless water opportunities, chances to fool around and relax before things get serious. You're not the only good guy to have had this thought! What are you both up to?
08 • LOCAL FOOD. You've been dying to eat X, a dish that you've seen numerous other knights eat on TV. Now YOU'RE a knight (or the princess) and you're eating it yourself, there are kids at home that'll be excited to eat this food because they saw you eating it! You might even get a commercial spot to advertise this food when you get home. Awesome! Except someone else is here, what if they get the commercial spot? Huh.
09 • DENNY'S. It's 3am and you've arrived at a Denny's. You're almost certain that there's not a Denny's on the island and you're not even sure you walked in here? But it is what it is and the server is already bringing you a menu and taking your drink order as one of your fellow allies slips into the booth across from you. Have you met them before, or are they new to you? Your animal companion is here, too, and they're ordering something as well.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario. |

He clearly wasn't used to company.

"Wowie, did you make those? This looks like a small foot!"
She'd picked up the piece in question and was holding it to her eye level.

no subject
"That's really cool!"
no subject
Quickly digging out his phones he typed to the text to speech function.
"T-thank you-! Most just find my hobby creepy..."
no subject
She fixes her hat a bit and looks away while she says that, then decides she shouldn't be such a downer.
"My pa taught me how to whittle, it's a bit similar? I'm not good though! He was."
no subject
"Oh yeah, that's definitely similar. What I do is pretty much just that just...more intricate really. I actually do some stuff out of wood."
Seth replied pretty eagerly.
no subject
She grins even wider than before.
"My pa did spoons and stuff like that!"
no subject
"Sounds nice."
no subject
Her own smile is a bit bittersweet.
"He's been gone for a while now. But hey, I know cool stuff like that because of him!"
Her eyes fixate on the doll parts again.
"So what're you making?"
no subject
"Oh- I', sorry for your loss..."
Seth pauses before he continues.
"I'm making a doll, or a puppet. I just... needed something to do."
no subject
Rory does a few energetic rocking motions in her chair.
"I don't have anything creative like that to do, though."
no subject
"Yeah I was...too stressed to sleep."
no subject
She scratches her chin.
"I'm not sure what I'm feeling but it's... not good? I think? It's weird."
no subject
Seth typed before after a pause, bringin Abigail, if a bit hesitantly, out from his bag. He was a little unsure lending his first ever doll as momentary as it was, but Rory seemed nice and he wanted to help.
"Do you want to talk about it with Abigail? Talking with her usually helps me..."
no subject
"She can talk? Wow! Is she possessed?"
no subject
Seth awkwardly typed in his phone to reply, holding the old and somewhat tattered doll and moving her hands to make signs.
"Well she's more of a listener...and she can't really speak. She can only sign I'm afraid..."
If he moved her hands to sign but that was unneeded details he refused to acknowledge.
no subject
Rory looks at the doll and frowns a little.
"But wow, kind of you and her to offer!"
no subject
"That's okay. I know most don't know sign language. Even if it does make it a little harder for me at times."
